ITNRacineCounty started local operations in late 2010 as an affiliate of ITNAmerica, the first and only national nonprofit transportation system for senior citizens. ITN’s genesis was a graduate school project inspired by Katherine Freund’s personal experience with a senior citizen’s involvement in an automobile accident.

Freund discovered through her research that crashes involving senior citizens were symptomatic of a larger nation-wide challenge to provide suitable transportation alternatives for older Americans. Her original thesis proposal produced a project that supplied more than 150,000 rides to seniors and formed the sustainable business model that became ITNAmerica.
